Hi,

I stopped by Chang's shop and got a look at his CRX HF -- it sticks back about 30 inches or maybe a bit more, and it extends the plane of the rear window and the sides curve inward. To be a boattail, it would have to be about twice as big. He has also made the wheel covers smooth and added a trailing fairing for the driver's side mirror. The passenger's mirror is removed.

I may be able to drive out in the morning -- maybe Chang and I can draft each other on the way out? I think this is the only way it can work for me, as my daughter will want to go Trick or Treating Saturday evening...
